"acrobatik giacometti" its a freefolk album based on Michel Giacometti fieldrecording (chants) in rural portugal during the 70s and 80s (Giacometti è venuto a vivere in Portogallo nel 1959, quando venne a sapere che aveva la tubercolosi. Alla fine di stabilirsi a Bragança. Ha viaggiato per il paese nei decenni successivi, fino al 1982, dopo aver registrato cantanti e canzoni tradizionali che la gente cantava nella loro vita quotidiana). Over this recordinds samuel and carmen did some improvised sessions (casa azevinha) with diatonic acordeon, violin and mandolino, some tracks in a more loose folkish way another tracks playing the instruments just like a cat playing a guitar while a serpent is trying to cath his tale, trying to explore the aleotoricism of sound and nature in way to aproch the field recording feeling. In the end of the process we added some dub beats to some these tracks, becouse folk music is done to dance and we feel that the slow dub beat could help to make the bridge between us, today, and the old rural Portugal that is still here. Its the ressurection of Gia/cometti in Holyvera do prado.
